Sylvie Guillem and Russell Maliphant

Push

Fri 11 & Sat 12 May 2012

Widely regarded as ‘the most brilliant ballerina of her generation’ (The Guardian), the legendary Sylvie Guillem returns to the UK, following the sell-out success of her London seasons, to perform at Birmingham Hippodrome.

This mixed programme features Push, a duet combining the abilities of this extraordinary partnership set to an original score by Andy Cowton, and Solo performed by Guillem to the music of Carlos Montoya. The evening is completed by Maliphant’s signature solo Shift, and the powerful, driving solo Two performed by Guillem.

The four pieces are complemented by lighting designed by Maliphant’s long-time collaborator Michael Hulls, reflecting the flow and energy between movement and light.

PUSH is produced by Sadler’s Wells in collaboration with Russell Maliphant and Sylvie Guillem.
